The project addresses teaching economics to engineering students on bachelor level in the universities of applied sciences. </span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma", sans-serif">Today there is an increasing need for engineers with high-level economic thinking and entrepreneurial mindset, yet there is no such comprehensive real-life material available that covers the most essential fields of economics, focusing on engineering students. CBAs link education and business over national borders in a learning environment and raise the quality of education, making teaching assignments more practical and helping students to become more competitive for globalized labour market.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma", sans-serif">Study exchanges will pilot the developed CBAs to ensure the quality of the project result and help students to develop a more practice-oriented and entrepreneurial attitude towards studies and work-life, improve teamwork and communication skills, both in face-to-face and virtual teams.</span></span></p>
Bilateral cooperation results
Both partners belong also to the same networks of HEIs, and are working closely with different projects. Also, have tight relationships between the members. In relation to the current project, the partners have already indicated the interest to continue the cooperation as well. After the project, implementors are planning to spread the information about the results of the project as much as possible to make sure all the interested parties have the availability to use the materials, and also are looking for additional funding possibilities to continue development of the workbook.
